Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 162: Hiding the Pregnancy, Master Ford, Stop Pestering Me

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Hiding the Pregnancy, Master Ford, Stop Pestering Me
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford, in a fit of rage, sternly questioned, "Assistant Monroe, are you now so good at guessing my thoughts? Can I leave all the company’s matters for you to handle? Since when did you become so reckless to make decisions for me?"
Eleanor Valerius could walk away if she wanted, who said he needed to chase her!
Just like yesterday, she didn’t look back!
"Don’t try to test my thoughts, and don’t think too highly of yourself. In my eyes, you mean nothing at all!"
Mason Monroe was so shocked his eyes and mouth were wide open.
Was Mr. Ford scolding him or implying something about Miss Valerius?
"I just noticed that Miss Valerius didn’t look well, with dark circles under her eyes. Maybe she didn’t sleep well. It would be good to have a check-up at the hospital."
"Who told you to look at her?"
"..."
Mason Monroe fell silent.
He didn’t want to work another day at this job.
With eyes closed, Sebastian Ford took a deep breath. Of course, he noticed Eleanor Valerius looked like she hadn’t slept well.
It was only her slight post-breakup reaction that could somewhat balance his sleepless night of resentment last night.
But why was she avoiding him like this?
Was she afraid that facing him would make her regret?
...
Eleanor Valerius kept herself well hidden.
From time to time, she looked back to see if Sebastian Ford had followed her.
"That was close! I can’t let him know I’m pregnant! There shouldn’t be any cameras here, right? No one of his around? The pregnancy test can’t be left behind!"
She discreetly discarded the evidence and ran away with lingering fear.
Originally planning to have a check-up in the hospital this afternoon, she no longer dared to do so.
After buying her lunch and returning, she saw some familiar colleagues in the hospital.
"Assistant Valerius, is that lunch for Mr. Ford?"
Someone initiated a chat and greeted her.
After all, today they saw first-hand Mr. Ford’s high regard for Assistant Valerius.
"Hasn’t Mr. Ford left yet?"
Eleanor Valerius was surprised because to avoid running into Sebastian Ford again, she had been hiding in Chloe’s ward all afternoon.
With information exposed by the ers, she was investigating Mrs. Croft’s illegal business practices.
"Sis, I want to go for a walk."
After the surgery, Chloe Valerius was even more eager to gain freedom.
"Sure, I’ll help you outside."
Eleanor Valerius felt comforted seeing her sister get better day after day.
This is the bond of familial blood ties.
The baby in her belly is also family related by blood.
Yet... the other end of that bloodline is tied to Sebastian Ford.
"Sis, look quickly! Who is that? He’s even more handsome than the stars I see on TV."
Hearing Chloe Valerius’s exclamation, Eleanor Valerius looked over naturally.
With just one glance, her breath caught seeing the handsome profile of Sebastian Ford.
Still, they met again!
Her heart beat slightly erratically, uncertain if it was due to her emotions or the baby in her belly.
"Chloe, he’s the head of the Ford Family, also our nominal uncle."
Eleanor Valerius was also answering herself with these words.
The differences in identity and relationship between her and Sebastian Ford were just those of an uncle and niece.
"So he is Third Master Ford. I didn’t think he was this charming."
Chloe Valerius looked at Sebastian Ford with amazement in her eyes.
"After mom brought me back to the Valerius Family, I’ve been sick and always in the hospital, so I’m not familiar with the relatives on the Ford side. But I’ve seen the news, knowing the Ford Family is a wealthy and famous family. After I’m discharged, I also want to go to the Ford Family to familiarize myself."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius furrowed her delicate brows, sighing as she said, "Chloe, the Ford family’s world is as deep as the sea and very complicated. I’d much rather you keep your distance from it."
Now that Chloe was still in the recovery phase post-surgery, Eleanor Valerius hadn’t revealed too much about the Valerius Family’s truths to her.
"They’re relatives after all; we’ll surely meet them in the future."
Chloe Valerius internally disagreed with her sister’s opinion.
After being discharged, she aimed to become the Fourth Miss Valerius, cherished by all, and to acquaint herself with high-and-mighty men like the head of the Ford Family.
What the sister had, she wanted too, and even more!
"Chloe, let’s go back."
Eleanor Valerius no longer dared to look at Sebastian Ford.
At such a great distance, the emotions in her eyes weren’t clearly discernible.
Only after she turned around did Sebastian Ford, who had been pretending to be nonchalant the entire time, finally couldn’t help but gaze deeply her way.
He had idled around the hospital for half a day just hoping for another chance encounter with her.
She had just been looking at him, surely involuntarily.
In Sebastian Ford’s eyes, there was only Eleanor Valerius’s back; he didn’t even look at the nearby Chloe Valerius, as she wasn’t important to him.
However, when Chloe Valerius couldn’t resist turning her head,
She saw Sebastian Ford’s handsome face, making her heart race with tension.
Was he looking at her?
A man as perfect in status, power, and appearance as he was, was just the kind of man she wanted to marry in the future.
...
When Eleanor Valerius left the hospital, it was nearly dark.
Upon encountering Damian Lowell, she knew it wasn’t coincidental.
He was Vincent, already a tacitly acknowledged identity.
"Miss Valerius, do you still want revenge now?"
Damian Lowell had noticed the situation in the news and guessed that this time Sebastian Ford hadn’t helped her.
"Trying to expose the illegal transactions at the beauty salon through official channels isn’t something you can achieve alone. I don’t know what your plan is now, but I hope to help you with this matter."
"Lawyer Lowell doesn’t have any reason to help me, but thank you."
Eleanor Valerius steadily maintained her distance and rejected him.
However, this time Damian Lowell didn’t give up, and he explained, "I can provide legal advice and assistance, so you can leverage the police’s authority, not just the exposure of the news media.
Mrs. Croft is wealthy, powerful, and well-connected. Trying to take her on is like striking a stone with an egg. You need me as a legal ally."
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath, knowing she had no reason to refuse.
"Lawyer Lowell, are your fees expensive? I don’t have much money right now."
"Not expensive, I’ll give you a discount."
Damian Lowell’s smile was like a gentle spring breeze.
"Let’s go to my office. We need to organize the evidence we have."
"Alright."
This was Eleanor Valerius’s first time walking with Damian Lowell.
The Ford Family had people stationed in the hospital.
Their job was to on Miss Valerius’s activities there to Master Ford.
However, when they were about to contact Master Ford, they were violently stopped by the bodyguards brought by Damian Lowell.
After getting in the car, Damian Lowell received a call, hearing that Sebastian Ford’s surveillance of Eleanor had been dealt with.
Looking at Eleanor sitting by his side, he felt he wasn’t late.
Childhood sweethearts were like a first love of sorts.
As long as Eleanor didn’t have Sebastian Ford by her side, her reliance would belong to him.
Damian Lowell never imagined Eleanor Valerius was pregnant with Sebastian Ford’s child.
Buckling the seatbelt, Eleanor Valerius instinctively kept her hands protectively over her belly.
She hadn’t yet decided whether to keep this child, but her instinctive motherhood seemed to have already arrived.
"My workspace in Aethelgard is just for handling legal documents; while you’re still living with the Valerius Family, storing evidence isn’t safe, so you should keep it with me."
Damian Lowell spoke to her while driving.
Knowing him as Vincent, Eleanor Valerius truly felt she could trust him.
"Good, Lawyer Lowell must be a very capable lawyer."
"I won’t let you down."
Just then, Damian Lowell saw a call from Julia Ford, and he deliberately shielded it to avoid Eleanor seeing it and then hung up.
At that moment, Julia Ford was waiting downstairs at Damian Lowell’s office.
"Are you too busy to answer my calls? Damian seems so hot and cold towards me."
She sighed in disappointment, waiting for a while before deciding to leave.
Right at that moment, Damian Lowell’s car drove into the parking lot.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Eleanor Valerius felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she opened the car window.
This scene was clearly seen by Julia Ford.
"Why is Damian with Eleanor Valerius? Did he deliberately not take my calls? Why is he avoiding me? What is his relationship with Eleanor Valerius!"
Julia Ford, filled with jealousy and anger, didn’t think twice before calling her uncle to complain while crying.
Over the phone, Sebastian Ford heard about Eleanor Valerius being with Damian Lowell.
Suddenly, he recalled Eleanor’s words about planning to marry another man.
So, she dumped him yesterday and switched to Damian Lowell today?!
